The scenery that must be punched in Hangzhou is West Lake, but as a local in Hangzhou or an Internet celebrity, he will definitely come to Hangzhou's Internet celebrity temple to Shangtianyu Faxi Temple. Before he came here, I really didn't expect that there would be such a lot of people and such Internet celebrities. Such a lively. Before I entered the gate, I was amazed by the scenery around there is a beautiful trail, walking slowly, so that I can feel the quietness of Hangzhou and the beauty of Hangzhou. The biggest feature of entering the temple is the temple's big red lantern, which will hang the big red lantern into a string of strings, and there are various words written on it. Of course, people who like to take pictures must not come here to shoot lanterns, they are photographing the structure of the temple, and the yellow wall of the temple. Among the three temples in the upper, middle and lower Tianzhu, this temple is the largest and the best three-dimensional structure, so there is a fixed-point punch card for taking pictures and also needs to line up, which really surprised me. For me, I came to see the temple culture, so I didn't stop too much in the net red land, but slowly wandered in the temple, walked from the mountain to the mountain, and went from the mountain to the mountain to feel the temple culture, feel the beauty of the temple.

From Lingyin through Fajing Temple, Fajing Temple to Faxi Temple. Walking along the way is a slow slope, not tired. There are also shuttle buses, 10 yuan/person, and elderly people can recommend it. The vegetarian meals at Faxi Temple are available in the morning, middle and evening. It coincides with the first 15th or important days. The opening hours will be inconsistent, but they will be opened. You need to pay first, then change the fast coupon, put the fast ticket after entering, and get the dumplings and then receive the meal. Rice, vegetables and soup are full, and you need to take the upper plate when adding dishes. After the meal, the dishes and chopsticks will be recycled to the prescribed location. Don't waste, there is a "wasteful sin is particularly big" on the wall, and the small amount of food can make the aunt play less. I heard that Faxi Temple seeks marriage. But no matter what you ask, remember the four big words on the archway "Don't ask outwards." This is the secret of life and happiness. Everyone's understanding will be different, but try to think about it. The pigeons in Faxi Temple are a special breed I have seen. Not afraid of people, but also close to people, with pink markings on the top of their heads, and the sun feels special care from God. May everyone find out their specialties.
First of all, thank my sister for taking me to feel the beauty of Hangzhou Faxi Lecture Temple. The place to live is in Jinsha Lake. To go to Faxi Lecture Temple, you need to change the subway to the bus. It takes about 1 and a half hours -2 hours. Decisively chose Didi. Since most attractions in Hangzhou are free before the end of March, you only need to make an appointment in advance. I found a few photo attractions with net reds. It is really a bright place to look at the inconspicuous place, but it is easy to take pictures. But because people are in the crowd, taking pictures also need to line up.
